Dana Bollen is a podcaster, tour manager, merch guy, cow beller, and a ton more. You may have seen him around the country when he was selling merch for Story so Far, Piebald, UnEarth,

This is a different format from a normal interview because it’s mostly us talking about the scene, the behind the scenes of our podcasts, and basically just 2 dudes being dudes.

if you want a real behind the scenes of our podcasts then this is for you. If not, you still may enjoy it.

I got Dana on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

• Showing up to Piebalds 2016 reunion with a cowbell
• Currently being on the road with Poppy
• Getting a ton of his episodes taken down
• Both of us interviewing Max Bemis
• Our thoughts on Furnace Fest
• Jeremy from A Day To Remember giving the real story about suing Victory
• His undying love for Piebald
• Being a cowbell aficionado
• His brakes going out while driving on tour
• And a ton more

Make sure you check out his new 6 part mini series podcast called Live Free or DIY that will be hitting the streaming services this April or May.

It’s about the DIY punk/hardcore music scene. They have a panel that includes Norm from Texas is the Reason, Luke form Piebald, Chris from Bridge Nine Records, Ace from Early November, Joey from Koyo, Brandon from Vanna, and a ton more.

Lastly if you’re looking to advertise on the podcast I have pricing starting at $20 so just hit me up at thiswasthescene@gmail.com or on my instagram thiswasthescene which you should also go and follow.
